Day 3 - 269 -- Rainy Sunday

While there were bits of sun earlier in the day, the predominant weather was cloud and rain. It seems to be the beginning of a week of rain every day. This is the fall pattern and it begins just as fall begins this year. Throughout the day some household and office chores filled the hours. I made some supper and meals that will freeze for times when a quick supper is needed. I had planned to cook a stew but it seems I had all the ingredients but the main one -- beef. So -- that will be made next week after the next trip to the grocery store.

Listening to the rain on the roof and windows as it periodically became heavier was relaxing. I do find that sound soothing unless there is big wind and it is horizontal rain pounding on the windows. Today it was a gentle rain. The week should see an inch or two of rain fall. The heavier days are predicted to be the two days that I have afternoon appointments that I'd planned to walk to. Guess that means breaking out the heavy duty rain gear <smile>.  The temperatures seem to be below normal for this time of year, too. This means layering under the rain jacket for warmth while walking.

A song that mentions rain ran through the brain today. It is an upbeat song from several decades back. Enjoy!
